Rising Concerns About AI in Publishing
PEN America has expressed serious concerns regarding the use of artificial intelligence by Veen Bosch & Keuning, a significant Dutch publisher. Recent reports from The Guardian reveal that this publisher plans to leverage AI technology to translate various books into English.
This move raises critical issues about the integrity of literary translations and the unique nuances captured by human translators. PEN America highlights the importance of preserving authors’ original voices and the cultural significance embedded in their works.
